A member asked:
After eswl 8 days ago, my 8mm stone broke into a cluster of 6x4mm still in my kidney. what does this mean and would i possibly be able to pass them?

Just wait...: Immediate post-eswl stone breaking as shown on kub could not predict if further stone disintegrates or not. So, it's worthwhile to wait and see for additional 2 weeks, then decide if transurethral intervention is needed or not. For detail, ask attending urologist timely.
